No, the current law requires the GR to be a resident of the county or city. This will allow persons to be GR in the city even if they live in the county and vice versa.

There is one exception to the rule as Piper wrote. HB 1832 (2009) authorized the electoral boards of the 17 cities wholly contained within counties to hire a general registrar residing in the surrounding counties.

No not for this bill. HB 1832 should not have been passed for selfish reasons and so is this one.
